doc? buyers. but there's one complication. this waterfront property is actually under water. >> ktvu jana katsuyama spoke with the county tax collector and the owner about the unusual property. >> drive along grand street in alameda and you'll see a line of multi-million dollar homes. so when alameda county put a piece of property up for auction last year, the owner who bought the land for just over $100,000, said he was excited for the opportunity to own. >> it is not easy to purchase a property. we tried, my wife and me since 2014. we were not able to do that. >> the lot is nestled in a lagoon surrounded by the alameda west lagoon. homeowners

association. but it was a shock when he and his real estate agent actually saw the lot. the property at 610 grand street is in the lagoon, 10,000ft!s, entirely underwater, and right next to a grand street bridge that boats go under to get from one side to another. >> these are, you know, an average working person, and you save up 100, no, $100,000, to lose it. it's heartbreaking. >> the real estate agent said she was surprised to learn the lot is actually zoned as a residential parcel. the owner has now put it up online for sale, clearly marked as an open water lot, the new listing is $400,000, and the realtor says the owner is hoping to recoup his losses. why? >> the alameda county tax collector why they do that? >> it's buyer beware. the buyers have to do due diligence on it. we're required to disclose if we're aware of, environmental
6:48 pm
issues, which has happened to us quite a few times. but zoning issues or development issues as far as i know, is not our responsibility. >> the owner, who lives in san lorenzo and did not want to be identified, said he didn't visit the site before he bought because when he typed the address into a google map app, it took him to a web page with a photo of a house. turns out it was a different location. the realtor said she has received some interest, but if anybody wants to build on this property, they need approval from the city of alameda, the army corps of engineers, water board, public works, bay conservation and the development commission reporting from alameda jana katsuyama, ktvu, fox two news. >> checking in on the weather. we've got temperatures today. they're a little cooler than they were yesterday. temperatures are going to be significantly cooler than they were today, maybe five six degrees. so that's the trend that's begun a couple of days ago. and that's the trend that will continue into the weekend. certainly into friday and
6:49 pm
saturday. little fog at the coast. little well you can see here. no fog yet but the fog will work its way back in then. there's some clouds out there as well. and those clouds will fill in and there you go. you're filtering the sunshine and you've got yourself a cooler day. that's how the weekend goes. memorial day will be a little warmer. it's not going to be the classic 85 degrees you might want in the livermore valley. it's going to be more like 7880 degrees. here's the low that's bringing in this trough. that's actually the trough is bringing in the low. and that just drops down right. so if this was winter this would be low snow elevations. this would be, you know, much cooler daytime highs. but this time of year this low just gets close touches us and temperatures come down. this is subtle stuff. i mean, this is really minor changes as we go into the weekend. and the pattern is for cooler weather. and again, i'm saying it's cooling down, but it's the cooldown is going to be instead of mid 80s. it's mid 70s in the warmer spots. that's that's pretty pleasant, especially for a holiday weekend. fog will be more constant at the coast. you, my
6:50 pm
friends at the beaches and the coast and santa cruz and bodega bay. you guys have had a pretty good run, right? this week's been good. a lot of fog cleared areas in this next couple of days. i think the fog will kind of reestablish itself. temperatures running a little cooler than they were last night. at this time. breezy conditions out there. we've talked about that. not out of the norm though. this is kind of what you expect. gusting to 33 at sfo, 23 miles an hour or less, 23 miles, 23 miles an hour sustained at sfo at and yeah, about average at ten, 15 miles an hour. so here's tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon. see more clouds cooler. and then here's friday or saturday morning. more clouds cooler saturday afternoon, sunday kind of see a little bit of almost like a northerly wind there. so sunday is going to be a little bit warmer and but not much i mean upper 70s. and then monday i think we'll get back into the upper 70s, low 80s. and then there is the forecast for tomorrow. yellows are 70s. nice day, nice weekend. she's getting ready for i know a lot of folks
6:51 pm
count. i count friday as part of the weekend actually is the weekend for me. but for the most part, friday for many of you is as well. and the day is going to be pleasant. but you notice, look at these highs right there, not in today. we were in the 80s, low 80s in the hot spots. tomorrow we're in the upper 60s low 70s there it is cooler on saturday, a little warmer on sunday, a little warmer on monday. >> all right bill thank you. happening tomorrow the bottlerock music festival taking over napa with headliners stevie nicks, ed sheeran and pearl jam. >> that's right. looks like it's going to be some nice weather up there. according to bill, the festival is hosted by the napa valley expo or it's hosted right there at the napa valley expo kicks off. as mike mentioned tomorrow afternoon at 130 with a performance from grace bowers. other big names for the weekend long event include megan thee stallion, norah jones and bebe rexha. last minute tickets, by the way, still available for resale or on the festival's website. right, okay, it is the time for the very first in our series of fox local zip trips. this summer as we continue to explore communities in the bay area and beyond. >> tomorrow on the nine mornings on two travels to the city of

changing world that has become college athletics. so here's what the plan would do. it would walk back on the ncaa amateur model that dates back to 1906. ncaa athletes would be paid more like pros, potentially earning millions of dollars as soon as the fall of 2025, schools would be able to compete for top recruits using direct payments. there would be no more punishment for athletes driving, say, cars that were provided by boosters or anything else of that nature. we'll have more on this at ten and the giants on the road closing out their series with the pirates today. they were fresh off a major comeback last night. can they do it again? is the big question. this one was a big game for pittsburgh rookie phenom paul skenes getting his second ever career start. you see their fans loving it. they are rocking his signature mustache. all right fourth inning here. game tied at one. pirates bases loaded. former giant joey bart crushes this one for a grand slam. it's the second game in a row that he hit a grand slam. pirates up now
